That’s a darn shame, for the kid, the crew and all of the witnesses.

Truly. If it indeed was a suicide attempt, I pray the kid finds help, though in today's world, I don't blame him for that feeling of hopelessness.
I know I've suffered through my share of troubles, and to anyone else who is down, hang in there. I am here if anyone needs to talk, or even vent and just have me listen.
I'm not exactly good with words but I'll try my best as I know how much even one talk can help.

I hate to be cliché but things get better, life is full of ups and downs and if you wait long enough that down will turn into an up.

D700 clear Vriesland. Pair of Elephant style geeps up front. Some ballast hoppers midway for what I presume is Marquette Rail. Had TZRR reporting marks or something similar

CSX #5340 should be his trailing engine.

D708 was in Howell today for the first time since Monday. They brought 66 cars for GLC and parked them on the main after running around them first in Brighton, and picked up 72 cars from GLC in the Howell pass. Departed for Lansing at 5:20pm. No LETX 310 for SRI yet. GLC now at Ann Pere so it remains to be seen if they will clear the cars off the main before D705 gets here, or make them run through the siding.

Those TZPR cars were picked up from the Michigan Shore, they did some ballast and tie work up there this year.
